What daytime colors are you seeing, that you do not like? With which Maps?

Almost white background. Latest City Nav

Is Shaded Relief On or Off? [Setup | Map | Advanced | Shaded Relief]

Auto, I think. Have to check.

Also, make sure [Setup | Marine | Marine Chart Mode] is set to OFF and check your map colors again.

BTW, you ran the Li-Ion battery dead in 4 hrs???

I'll check that marine chart.

And yes, followed the setup guide as per the wiki, full charge. Backlight was full on, as well. Ran it down to like 3%, then plugged it in.

But like I said: Not something that's gonna come up much. If ever.

Well, the 478 is sold. Guess I'm the pig now instead of the chicken in this breakfast.

For me, the perfect gps would be a 478 like case(with left side buttons), the screen from my wife's big nuvi, the programming from my 2610, with an SD card slot. That would be the ticket. Wish I knew enough to be able to make one.

Day time colors suck, switched from auto to night mode. Much better. Any chance there's another color palette?

There are several nice custom backgrounds available in the Dropbox, then you can play with the color scheme (Setup>Appearance). Search for "dropbox" a dozen pages back or so. I like the water and the knobby in the sand one. Good profiles and shortcuts in there too.

Dunno if it has been posted as somewhat late to this thread. Does the Montana have any capability for the XM weather? I use the GMX30 with my 478 and like to see the rain and snow. I suspect not but confirming with the experts on ADV rather than the "experts" at Garmin.

No, no XM capability at all.
